Join us for the first CommuniTEA of the semester! We will have a nacho bar, drinks, music, and fun!  The most powerful connections often begin over a conversation and a great brewed beverage. Join Leadership Education and Development, a unit of the Dean of Students Office, during this come-and-go event with complementary tea, snacks, and conversation about leadership, current events, cultural storytelling, and more. This specific CommuniTEA Connections event is centered on Homecoming. Homecoming is a time when traditions bring us together, creating a sense of community and belonging. In leadership, traditions can play a similar role, helping to unite teams, reinforce values, and create lasting bonds.   If you need accommodations to participate in this program fully, please contact LEAD at RedbirdsLEAD@IllinoisState.edu.

Individuals can engage in quick, confidential alcohol and/or cannabis screening to learn about and explore their level of risk(s).  The opportunity to participate in screening is invaluable.  Being more informed allows individuals to prevent the development of risky or harmful behaviors, and being able to identify concerns early puts individuals in control to make decisions that can help them align more closely with their goals and priorities.Tuesday, September 26, 12-2, Watterson by Reflection Room Tuesday, October 15, 12-2 Schroeder Hall, 1st Floor Lobby Table Tuesday, October 29, 12-2, Tri-Towers, Outside of Linkins Dining Center Thursday, November 14, 12-2, State Farm Hall of Business, Auditorium LobbyHosted by: Health Promotion and WellnessAdditional Information can be found at: https://redbirdlife.illinoisstate.edu/event/10178852
